Error message:
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/X11/lib/libGLU.1.dylib Referenced from: /Applications/freesurfer/bin/qdec.bin Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap
Solution: You need to install XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/) and reboot your system.
Error message:
Bus error
Solution: You are encountering an oft encountered problem when installing XQuartz on top of the existing X11. To solve this you will have to completely remove XQuartz and reinstall. This is done as follows:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Launch*/org.x.* sudo rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app sudo rm -rf /opt/X11 sudo rm /usr/X11 sudo rm /usr/X11R6
Then reinstall XQuartz and reboot the system. At this point, if you try to open qdec (or another Freesurfer GUI) and the terminal just hangs, you will need to goto Applications->Utilities and open XQuartz. If it doesnt work, then you might have to logout then login again. XQuartz can be a finicky install, requiring one or more reboot and logout/logins, but once the GUI opens, it should no longer be a problem.
